Mihingo Lodge

Lake Mburo, Uganda

Relaxed safari retreat

Mihingo Lodge is a peaceful and exclusive retreat situated on 200 acres of private land, on a rocky bluff overlooking Lake Mburo National Park in Western Uganda. Rwonyo, the Park Headquarters, is only 15km from the lodge.

The lodge features ten luxury tented rooms which are built on wooden platforms with stilts and covered by a thatched roof. Each tent is equipped with an en-suite bathroom and stunning views from your private deck. The main dining area is a large thatched structure built of rocks, the wood of dead weathered olive trees found on the land, and native grasses. Below the dining area, an infinity swimming pool stretches out from the rocks and seems to disappear into the vast landscape beyond.

Aside from lounging by the pool, enjoying the sounds of nature, or watching wildlife at the waterhole, you can also opt to join in on the numerous activities offered by Lake Mburo National Park and Mihingo Lodge. Boat trips on Lake Mburo , savannah walks, game drives in Lake Mburo National Park and horse back safaris are all on offer.

Lake Mburo is home to many different animal species including zebra, eland, and impala, who are not found in most other National Parks in Uganda. Additionally Lake Mburo has big numbers of waterbuck, topi, buffalo, hippo, duiker, bushbuck, klipspringer, and if you are lucky you may see leopard and crocodiles.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor
